Narravero wins designfunktion
Münster, 13. November 2023. Münster-based tech & sustainability company Narravero has acquired designfunktion, Germany's leading consultant, planner and interior designer for modern working and living environments. Headquartered in Munich, the designfunktion Group has a portfolio of more than 150 brands and designs spaces for Ströer, Lufthansa and Microsoft, among others. With the introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), designfunktion is once again positioning itself as a first mover: as a first step, the company is using the DPP for property furnishing and asset management. In a second step, the DPP will be used as a communication channel directly on the products in the exhibition areas.
„Modern and flexible offices need a simple but accurate overview of the inventory and an easily accessible service. With the DPP, we have both," says Samir Ayoub, CEO and managing partner of the designfunktion Group.
Because the way we use space has changed:
"Teams are formed over time, working methods change and office furnishings are also subject to constant change. So it is important to know: Where is what now? Is it still under warranty? How and where can it be repaired? The more everything fluctuates, the more important it is to have centralised information directly in the furniture",
says Samir Ayoub. In addition to transparency and traceability, designfunktion will also use the DPP as a marketing tool: In the future, the DPP will serve as a new information and service channel directly on the product. Narravero is currently running pilot projects for both applications.
Thomas L. Rödding, founder and CEO of Narravero:
"Thanks to the DPP, designfunktion will in future be able to easily track where office furniture is located - and at the same time offer its customers a highly innovative communication channel that provides information on all product variants, origin, manufacture and many other relevant topics.”
Narravero continues to grow with designfunktion. The Münster-based company has recently completed its first round of funding, moved to larger premises at the harbour and is currently looking for new team members and further strategic investors.
